The ruling upholds a previous decision ordering McDermott to pay House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, more than $700,000 for leaking the taped conversation. The figure includes $60,000 in damages and more than $600,000 in legal costs.

McDermott broke the trust of the ethics committee and got his just deserts. He has to pay a huge fine and he is not a rich man.

Now if only the crimes of the GOP indictees were as benign.
